when we are not OK with debts and inflation and had enough of toxins in the food and water when decisions are made based upon a profit line benefiting the few while all the more get screwed it is time to awaken... when we are not OK with barbarous treatment of animals for consumption had enough of medicine creating more illness than healing when decisions are made based upon military run governments backed by the impulse of what stimulates economy it is time to awaken... we are the earth’s people locked into slavery we are minds of insanity and crying for help praying to god for holy redemption and few if any even notice the bell has been ringing the light has been shinning god has always been here and yet the same ole, same ole keeps repetitively playing it is time to awaken, or get out the seas will get rougher the land will shake more volcano’s are erupting and earths magnetics are shifting course tornados are blowing and ice storms encroach don’t say its without warning we've asked for it it is time to awaken... the earth seeks our peace, nothing else

Every shade of life is covered here, and I agree, it is time that we awaken. Wonderful. e

And the one's that want to profit on others'misery always discount the symptoms. They call people like you and me "wacko alarmists" But it IS REAL (unfortunately) Everyday, more ice is melted worldwide where it serves to preserve our climate and ecosystems; everyday more species die off, and everyday the earth shudders to regain balance... and WE ALL are closer to paying a huge tab. And there was a group of researchers who wrote an article about that IF enough ice does melt off, the crust would rebound and of course that would be noticed first in the fault zones that are overdue. WE've already lost the Larsen Ice Shelf! We're well into overdue payment time...
Hope for the best but act as if expecting the worst and maybe we'll make it.
Keep 'em coming: Michael

I can only hope and pray that many hearts will hear such a call esp. in our country The Philippines, where abuse, injustice and corruption continue to enrich the few and trample many. Thank you for sharing that 'wake up call' Debby. Very timely indeed.

Blessings to you,
Sheri

Nothing like a mixed reaction.

Medicines to live longer! Depends on which nation you live in and of course how deep your pockets are.

I would love to babble on, but instead "long live the children of the flowers"

keep up the good work. Tony

"Never the 'twain shall meet"?? I don't know exactly what it will take for people to wake up from their anesthesia. Holding on out of fear? This generation was born to shake-up the status quo. Seeds were planted that might yet germinate and find the sun. Appreciate this write, Debby...Blessings, Lin

If...and when we wake up, maybe we will not like the world around us. Zombies just go along for the ride, don't complain, don't...you follow?

I, for one, am alive today because of these so-called medicines that cause more illness than healing. You can return to living off the berries you pick, not I. You actually believe we are fighting to stimulate our economy? How very naive you must be. We are living longer and better than ever in the history of the world and all because of medicine. I used to read this same b.s. back in the sixties. I was young then, but even so I knew it for b.s. I am old now and can still recognize flower children b.s.
